    Alphabetical Name Draft

    To be honest, I would have taken either Sutcliffe or Sehwag ahead of Sanga anyway but you can't bowl teams out without quality bowlers - see Australia. If at any stage you feel fast bowling heavy, just send one my way and you can have Illingworth :unsure:

    Alphabetical Name Draft

    I have been second to pick in the round of Bradman and now Sobers, spewing. There are some serious batsman in this round but I need a proper bowler. Hard to leave a couple of them out, in particular the two gun openers. Dale Steyn 1. 2. 3. Amla 4. Tendulkar 5. M Clock 6. 7. Gilchrist 8...

    Alphabetical Name Draft

    Well to be fair, Alderman was higher on my preference list but that got shot to pieces by some guy.

    Alphabetical Name Draft

    Continuing the current player feel to my team. Hashim Amla 3. Amla 4. Tendulkar 5. Clarke 7. Gilchrist 8. Illingworth Might not be the strongest looking team but they can play spin at least.

    Alphabetical Name Draft

    Bollocks! Every time I go last it is one of the obscure rounds where you have to pick some hack player and then when I go near the top its always something easy like S or B! Conspiracy:ph34r:

    new captain? young players? a team of allrounders?

    Nah can't do that, need a batting average over 20 with at least one test ton, sorry Warnie. Just tell the home curator to prepare green tops and watch the quickies roll 'em in my opinion. Can afford to be 5 down too with that "tail" once in a while.

    new captain? young players? a team of allrounders?

    To be fair, it was off the top of my head and in all honesty, I probably wouldn't put those two in the 11 anyway. Rate Pollock a better bowler than Botham but with Miller, Imran, Hadlee and Wasim I probably wouldn't have him bowling enough to make up for Botham's superior batting. Carins is...

    Not exactly a bounty of fine players to choose from. Ray Illingworth A bit of a bits and pieces player but I figure we can carry one. 4. Tendulkar 5. M Clarke 7.Gilchrist (+) 8. Illingworth (c)

    new captain? young players? a team of allrounders?

    Unless the following players (or similar) are all amongst your all-rounder stocks, I don't think you should consider playing a team full of them. Mankad Watto (I'm a massive fanboy) Kallis Sobers Miller Gilchrist Imran Botham Hadlee Benaud Akram Even so, it's not like Watto, Kallis, Mankad...

    Alphabetical Name Draft

    Would be happy going last in this round, some damn good B & Gs around. Assuming that KK is going to pick the obvious (which I do if he doesn't) I pick...****e I don't know. Tossing up between a chubby Englishman and an Aussie with a funny grin. Adam Gilchrist He is so gun and I always end up...

    Sachin Tendulkar. Toss up between him and some English opener, but dude is pretty good. 4. Tendulkar 5. M Clarke

    In! I think 12 hours otherwise the draft drags on.

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    I could live with that. She'd be the best looking girl in the series now that Broad is injured.

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    :-O :blink: :laugh: :@ Just some of my emotions at that squad. Congratulations England, you don't even have to play our best team to retain the ashes. We just grabbed a couple or Warnie's club mates to bowl you a couple of overs on the way to 3/985. ****ing joke. Can we start a...

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    Hauritz (only because you can't really pick O'Keefe since he hasn't been playing) Harris (coz he's gun) Copeland (coz he's young, new and has a record to die for so far) Hilfenhaus (tell him to bowl straighter than he did at the Gabba and I reckon he'll do well) Watson --- and to bowl a few...

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    Or we could pick neither, picking underdone rug or Johnson is stupid when there are at least 3 bowlers who could play ahead of them and likely do a better job.

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    I agree 100%. At least with Smith at 6/7 we have, "in theory" 6 six bowlers which is good for Watson, and a much stronger tail. Not sure SS is up to it with the bat, but can't really be any worse than North. Dussey must be 100% sure now that he is never going to play a test. However, Johnson...
